Eggs-asperating

How
about we continue our theme of scary confections?

The
video linked above is an advertisement for Kinder Surprise Eggs. The
eggs, manufactured by an Italian company, contain a “surprise”
toy embedded in chocolate. Humpty Dumpty there seems incredibly
pleased to find the toy in his candy egg. So much so, the inevitable
occurs. It is difficult to sympathize because of what a terrifying
abomination this Humpty Dumpty is.

Seriously. Humpty
Dumpty probably did more to promote childcare’s nightmares than
sell candy.

American
children do not have anything to fear. Kinder Surprise Eggs are
banned in the United States because of the embedded toy. All candies
with embedded toys have been banned by the Federal Food and Drug
Administration since since 1938 because of the choking hazard. But
thanks to YouTube and me, the mental image is now scarred upon your
brain forever.
